3. Transaction Not Going Through
Issue: A transaction fails to execute or does not appear in the recipient's account.

Solution:

8. Login Issues
Issue: Unable to log in to your PalWallet.
Solution
Ensure you are entering the correct login details. If you've forgotten your password, use the password recovery option. For issues with 2FA, check that your authentication app is synchronized correctly.
9. Wallet Synchronization Problems
Issue: Your wallet is not syncing with the blockchain correctly.
Solution
Check your internet connection and try restarting the app. If the issue persists, look for an option within the app to re-sync to the blockchain.
10. Recovery Phrase Concerns
Issue: Lost recovery phrase or unable to restore wallet using the phrase.
Solution
If you have lost your recovery phrase, the chances of recovering your wallet are slim. Always keep multiple backups of your recovery phrase. If the wallet doesn't restore with the correct phrase, ensure you're entering it correctly without spaces or typos.
11. Transfer Issues
Issue: Sent funds to the wrong address or can't see received funds.
Solution
If you've sent funds to an incorrect address, it's unlikely to retrieve them. Always double-check addresses before sending. For missing funds, refresh your wallet and ensure you're looking at the correct wallet address.

Issue: The app has trouble connecting to the network.
Solution
Verify that your device has a stable internet connection. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to determine if the issue is network-specific.

Solution
Check for any additional updates that may fix the issue. If problems persist, try reinstalling the app. Remember to have your recovery phrase handy before reinstalling.
